File Number: 21-601 <br />proposals and in 2008, signed an exclusive negotiating agreement with Cal Coast Companies <br />(Cal Coast) to redevelop the area. That same year, the City formed the Shoreline Citizens <br />Advisory Committee (SCAC) to provide input and guide the design of the development. Over the <br />next three years, dozens of public meetings were held and the community developed goals for the <br />project. In 2012, the project scope was well defined, the SCAC was dissolved and a subgroup <br />consisting of a portion of the original committee formed the Shoreline Advisory Group (SAG) to <br />continue to provide input on the project. Cal Coast developed an initial plan in 2015 but <br />subsequent conversations with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development <br />Commission (BCDC) revealed that significant work would be required to protect proposed <br />improvements against sea level rise, rendering the plan too expensive. Cal Coast developed a <br />second plan in 2017 and after extensive negotiations, a Disposition and Development <br />Agreement (DDA) that was executed in 2020 and which specifies that Cal Coast will purchase a <br />portion of the 9-hole golf course for approximately 200 homes and will lease land for an apartment <br />building consisting of approximately 285 units as well as for a hotel consisting of approximately <br />210 rooms. Cal Coast will also reconfigure the 9-hole golf course and build improvements to <br />Monarch Bay Drive. <br />Analysis <br />In the coming months and years, various permit applications will be received for the Shoreline <br />Development. This Development consists of several large projects, including, a commercial <br />component with a hotel, restaurant and market; a multifamily residential building and <br />approximately 200 single family homes. The project will also include significant public <br />improvements along the shoreline and to Monarch Bay Drive. Each of these projects will have <br />their own review process, requiring many hours of comprehensive review throughout the planning, <br />building permit, and grading permit phases. Given the complex and time consuming nature of this <br />project, a consultant dedicated to this project will allow the Engineering and Transportation <br />Department’s Land Use staff to manage this review process, continue to review other <br />development applications and requests, while maintaining capacity during periods of staff <br />vacancies. <br />Since 2017, CSG has performed engineering plan checking services for the Engineering and <br />Transportation Department, as part of the on-call engineering and surveying contract we currently <br />have. During this time, CSG has worked with the Engineering and Transportation Department on <br />the Shoreline Development by attending project meetings and working with Engineering staff as <br />the DDA with Cal Coast was negotiated and drafted. CSG has become familiar with the <br />Shoreline Development and is currently assisting staff with the recently submitted planning <br />applications for the development. <br />Without a separate consultant to handle the plan checks for the expansive Shoreline <br />Development, processing times for engineering applications will be further extended as staff <br />attempts to balance the reviews of the time-sensitive and complex applications for the Shoreline <br />and the rest of the other applications that the Land Use division receives. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/2/2021 <br />29
